Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1/2 cup diced vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
For Greasing
- Cooking spray or oil for greasing
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C) to ensure even baking of the egg bites.
- Prepare the Muffin Tin: Grease a silicone or regular muffin tin with cooking spray or oil to prevent the egg bites from sticking during baking.
- Whisk Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Cheese and Vegetables: Gently fold in the shredded cheese and diced vegetables to distribute them evenly throughout the egg mixture.
- Fill the Muffin Tins: Pour the egg mixture into the greased muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for expansion.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly puffed and firm to the touch.
- Cool: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the egg bites cool for approximately 5 minutes to set further and make them easier to handle.
- Remove from the Tin: Carefully remove each egg bite from the muffin tin, using gentle pressure if using a silicone mold, and transfer to a serving plate.
- Serve Warm: Enjoy the egg bites warm, or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for convenient later consumption.
Notes
- You can customize the vegetables based on your preference or what you have available, such as spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
- Use either cheddar or mozzarella cheese depending on the flavor profile you prefer.
- Make sure not to overfill the muffin cups to avoid spillage during baking.
- Leftover egg bites can be reheated gently in the microwave for a quick breakfast.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cottage cheese and shredded cheese with vegan alternatives.
